What does Bera argue about when graphs contain a multitude of colors?
argues that when graphs contain a multitude of colors, viewers spend more time inspecting the meaning behind the colors, even if this is not the purpose. Yet, when a good choice of a pallet with less colors is chosen, the viewers focus on the graphs, performing the task quickly and understanding the right meaning behind it. Moreover, when not misusing colors, viewers are not distracted, and they rather focus on the dashboard, taking the intended lessons from it
